2010 a.t.b.

Japan was conquered by the Holy Britannian Empire, the superpower seeking world domination, and became Area 11.

Seven years later, when the Japanese had started to lose hope, a single rebel appeared.

The masked man, Zero.

Zero, who preached about the liberation of Japan, led the Order of Black Knights to a final battle against the Britannian army.

But the Order of the Black Knights was defeated, and Zero's death was inscribed in history.

Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion -

Britannian Residential Area

Tōkyō Settlement

This is 2D4.

Approaching Tōkyō Settlement airspace.

Roger. Your purpose for flight is public advertisement, correct?

There has been no change.

Flight duration estimated to 14 hours, as announced.

Confirmed. Access to upper airspace granted.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We're the only ones left of the Order of the Black Knights, who set fear into Britannia with Zero.

But it's too early for despair.

If we succeed with the Flying Swallow No. 4 operation... {name may need revising}

Yes...

I'm sorry, everyone...

Long live Japan!

Long live Japan!

Lelouch.

You again?

You just don't give up.

You're not getting away this time.

Hey! You're that guy from...

Sorry! Another time.

Wait, Lelouch!

Vice President, do your best!

Right, right...

You lost when this turned into a matter of physical strength.

You're exaggerating. I'll just take more physical education.

Then come to class like you should.

I already have enough credits.

It's just colored gas!

Wait!

Do your best, Vice President!

Thanks!

And you're supposed to be the Student Council President?

Oh, sorry. I wasn't thinking.

Lelouch!

Are you trying to kill me, Teacher?

Rivalz. When did you...?

Rivalz, I'm borrowing this!

Lelou, not again...

In the morning and evening you yearn for love

I'll become a star to protect you

Not knowing where this fighting will lead me

At the junction between tomorrow and yesterday

I couldn't meet up with you

I'll go now, I'm a shooting star

Even if the world falls apart to pieces

There are still things that won't change

We'll have to put up with tears

Because we have things we must protect

The message from millions of years ago still endures

It thrusts forward, echoing

In a hoarse voice

With a hand covered in scars, I'll protect you

I continue to fly

I continue to fly

Morning and evening you yearn for love

I'll become a star to protect you

Not knowing where this fighting will lead me

At the junction between tomorrow and yesterday

I couldn't meet up with you

The shooting star that cut up fate

Right now, I'll take away the tears flowing from you

Seriously, I wish she'd at least let me do whatever I want after school.

But you're always skipping classes...

Because it bores me.

From the President.

Hey!

It's because you...

Right. Sorry.

It's been almost a year since Zero caused the Black Rebellion.

Area 11 has calmed down a lot since then.

There were a lot of rumors circulating at the start of the incident,

and my brother and I were thinking about returning to the Britannian mainland.

Did you hand in your goals for the future?

Ms. Villetta was pretty mad.

Oh...

Are you applying to a university?

I still haven't decided.

I'm tired of being a student.

But I'm also tired of being used...

That's just like you.

But it's pointless, I guess...

Even if I go out into the world, it's controlled by large corporations and aristocrats sitting firmly in their positions.

A world already set in place.

I'd just be inserted into the hierarchy of the adults.

This is not discrimination against Elevens.

It's a differentiation!

The Elevens were tricked by Zero, and tried to take back the name "Japanese".

They're a militant, dangerous race! {race, wtf!}

Therefore, we, Britannia, must provide controlled education!

The Elevens lost.

They weren't strong enough.

If they had just stayed put, they would've been spared from correctional training.

Zero. What a fool.

It doesn't matter what you do, the world will still...

Please hurry, General-Governor Carares.

The people from the Chinese Union...

I know.

What about the Technical Information Bureau's operation?

Yes. It's at Babel Tower.

On a day like this...

What is His Majesty the Emperor planning?

I don't think the remnants of the Order of the Black Knights can do anything now...

And besides, Zero is already dead.

Don't slack, you Eleven monkeys!

Y-Yes!

The subject has arrived, as expected.

He's entering the Fifth Gate from B3.

Will she appear this time?

She better.

We're taking this risk by going to the outer parts of the settlement.

Well, all right.

Just giving me a ride would've been enough, though.

It's illegal today, too.

You won't get away with just protective custody.

The police wouldn't...

But why? It's not like you want money, right?

Of course not. I just want to face stronger opponents.

What a blatant lie... This is just a way to kill time.

In other words, I'm...

Now, today's fight between two brothers.

Will the older brother prevail, or the younger?

It's an exciting 10-round match...

Brother, let's go home. This is...

It's fine, right? It's easy to tell apart.

Look. Laughing and having fun are for us Britannians.

Working and getting laughed at are for the Elevens.

It won't change even if you pretend to not see it.

Even so...

I know. But it's the truth.

The Elevens lost twice.

With Prime Minister Kururugi and with Zero.

Trying to revolt without having the strength to...

I'm sorry!

No, don't worry about it.

I'm an Eleven. You're a Britannian student.

That's even more the reason.

I hate showing off my status.

But those without power have to endure it.

Even if the others are wrong.

I wish you wouldn't try to push your sense of values onto me.

I'm very sorry.

Show me your face.

This is good merchandise.

It's all for the big bunny hunt today.

I'm not for sale.

Yes you are.

Losers have no rights.

An irregularity.

There's trouble.

Regret having been born without power.

It's as His Majesty the Emperor says, right?

The Emperor...

The survival of the fittest.

It's the rule of the world.

Brother, he's mafia.

You're rather arrogant.

So you think you're one of the predators?

Mr. Student, this is the world of adults.

Then let's see if the world of adults or a student is a predator with this.

With chess?

Brother! Don't!

Too late. Right?

Students really don't know anything.

That's not true.

Mr. Black King.

You're a well-known player in these parts, aren't you?

So you were aware?

If only Zero was here, you wouldn't...!

Don't talk of that traitor.

Zero never betrayed us!

Be quiet!

All right! I'm sorry!

I'm sure he had his reasons...

Reasons? For the commander to disappear during the final battle...

Stop it.

Either way, Zero died.

Died?

Checkmate.

I-Impossible!

The student won.

The Black King lost...

He easily outplayed the King.

Looks like you're the one who was eaten.

Now this is a problem.

I'll lose face if this rumor spreads.

I'm not the type to gossip.

Not that, Mr. Student. I'm talking about your cheating.

Cheating?

You're such a bad boy.

Wait!

Cheating at chess...

...is impossible.

Restrain him.

Now, let's create some evidence.

You dirty old man!

Being right means nothing.

Let my brother go-

Terrorists?!

Launching.

Come! This way.

H-Hey!

Brother!

An airship, huh... Guess it's her last futile struggle.

Commencing Secret Information Bureau operation Valhalla No. 7.

Yes, My Lord!

What?

What's going on?

What?!

Welcome to Area 11.

What an extravagant reception.

I heard that Zero died.

Zero? No, no.

I believe it's a bit early for the Chinese Union to understand Britannia.

You're unexpectedly frank.

Please hand over your weapons.

The security is flawless.

You won't be needing such antiques...

Xingke, you're being rude.

My apologies.

I believe it's a bit early for you to understand the Chinese Union.

You...

Huh?

Brother, this way!

Hey!

Ah! Wait!

What? You lost sight of the target?

Okay. We'll join in too.

Got it.

The terrorists attacking Babel Tower possess several KnightMares.

The surrounding area has been cleared in accordance with the operation.

All right. Commencing Seventh Sequence.

Captain, Governor-General Carares said...

Ignore the local officials.

We're on orders from His Majesty the Emperor.

Yes, My Lord.

Elevens should use the stairs! It's already past the weight limit.

Terrorists... Why are the remnants of the Order of the Black Knights here?

It's the Britannian army!

Damn Britannia!

Sorry! I couldn't hold onto him.

Don't worry about it.

Urabe and the others are looking for him now.

Got it.

Rollo, this way!

What is the meaning of this?

That KnightMare just now... Was it trying to...?

Brother, what should we do...?

Calm down. We'll be able to get out of here.

I'll make it happen.

Y-You're right.

We're...

Rollo!

Brother!

Lelou pulled Rollo into his mischief too!

Why don't you just say what you mean? You're worried about Lelou.

That's not it!

There you go again...

Geez...

R-Rollo...

Rollo!

I can't get through...

What should I do?

At this rate, we'll...

No, I'll save him.

I should be able to save my only brother.

I should have that kind of power...

I should!

The terrorists did this...

But they've killed the Elevens too...

Trying to depend on Zero again...

The Order of the Black Knights!

Are they going to kill me?

What should I do?

Even if I run away...

Lelouch.

I've come to pick you up, Lelouch.

I'm your ally.

Your enemy is Britannia.

We made a contract, remember?

We're accomplices.

Contract?

Accomplices?

I'm the only one who knows the true you.

The true me...

L-Lelouch...

H-Hey!

The Britannian army.

Hey, wait.

What are you-

Stop it! They're still alive!

Thank you for playing your role, Lelouch Lamperouge.

Role?

What are you talking about?!

We've been observing you for quite a while now.

Waking up at 6:59.

Eating breakfast while watching the news with his brother at 7:12.

He does not pay any special attention to the contents.

Going to school at 8:45.

He skips homeroom and the first hour of class to read on the rooftop.

For the second hour of class, Physics, he...

That's me... Today...

A diary of raising a bait.

Bait?

You could call it a trap.

To bring that witch, C.C., out.

Wait! What are you saying?!

I'm a Baron. I don't feel like talking anymore with bait.

All right, time for disposal.

Now there won't be any witnesses.

Disposal?

Is this the end for me?

This easily, without understanding anything...?

Don't mess with me!

Power... If only I had power...!

The power to get out of here...!

The power to fight the world...!

What is this?

Do you want power?

You're the voice from just now...

You already have that power.

It's just sealed away deep within you.

Remember who you really are...

The Power of the King!

Now's the time for the seal to be released!

I see... The restlessness that has been pricking me like a thorn every day...

Yes. They were all fake memories.

I remember!

I am...

I am...!

I am...

Zero!

Lelouch, I won't ask for forgiveness.

We're friends, right?

Yes... Is that your answer? Suzaku!

I'd like you to answer a question before you dispose of me.

The woman's still alive!

No way! We shot her through the heart.

If being powerless is evil, is having power justice?

Is revenge evil?

Can friendship coexist with justice?

There's neither evil nor justice.

All that remains for the bait is death.

I see.

Then the same shall remain for you.

Lelouch vi Britannia commands you.

All of you...

Die!

What? Don't tell me...

Yes, Your Highness!

Ever since that day, something felt wrong in my heart.

My fake life felt out of place.

My time was shifted.

Like a human pet that had someone else's memory implanted.

But the truth continued to seek me...

Exactly! It wasn't I who was at fault!

It was the world!

The world will change.

I can change it.

We've been waiting, Zero.

Please give us your orders.

Very well.

For I am Zero!

The man who will destroy and recreate the world!

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'm not planning on giving him to someone else.

I will be the one to kill Zero.

I try to gather the pieces of happiness

That my heart picked up one day

The melody I had started to forget

Still hasn't faded from within me

I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Everything I have now is thanks to you all

I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Now I'll be the one to give you happiness

I won't forget anything

I'm still the same as I was on that day

I have to tell you

That I love you more often

On the nights where you're about to cry

Just turn around

And retrace your steps

To make sure you don't forget that day

I will not forgive.

I cannot forgive.

My memories are proof that I am who I am.

The time for compensation has come.

I'll remind Britannia what the meaning of Zero's return is.

That we no longer need a fake government.

THE PLAN FOR JAPAN'S INDEPENDENCE
